A Hedgehog Of Chaldea

Camelot (Part 5)


*The Next Day*

The day had finally arrived for Sonic and the group as their army was now ready to go to war against the Holy City. Sonic and Lancelot lead the army towards the Holy City.

"The Holy City is right before us. There are hordes of soldiers around the main gate. It looks like they've noticed our advance. If either army takes even one step forward, it could trigger a war." Romani said

"Another way, huh? Just another Thursday for me, if I'm being honest." Sonic replied

"We'll head towards the main gates with the infantry. Sir Lancelot will head the army of knights." Da Vinci said

"And me, along with Sanzang. A single knight out of formation could spark the beginning of a war." Touta said

"I know a thing or two about horses, But Touta just threw me on the back of a horse after seeing me ride one!" Sanzang replied

"What you were doing isn't anything like horse riding! You must have only ridden the tamest of the tame! It would be more terrifying to the enemies if you could wave your staff around and mutter some scary-sounding chants in the back." Touta said

"Once we get into the Holy City. We run straight towards the Castle and deal with the Lion King. So be prepared for such battle." Sonic said

" As soon as I reach the castle walls, I will thin out the archers. But."

"Damn, Agravain. Now I understand. He's placed archers all along the walls. Even if we tripled the force of our last attack, it would do no good. Is he trying to end it before we reach the walls? King Ozymandias's army of divine beasts will arrive soon. They will cause a diversion on the west side of the Holy City, and we will use that opportunity to strike. My army of knights will also advance before you, but we are not a good distraction. We will suffer heavy casualties from the archers. I suspect only sixty percent of our army will make it to their gates. Even so, we have no other way to attack than knocking on their front doors." Lancelot said

"I do not mean to doubt King Hassan, but, We cannot wait any longer. Worst case, you may have to fight Sir Gawain." Bedivere said

" I shall wait till nightfall is what I would like to say, but I must finish what I started. Unfortunately, I cannot simply sit on the sidelines and hope this battle ends on its own." Lancelot replied

"Leave it to the three of us!" Sanzang said

"Then I am counting on you. Women from the Far East certainly are brave and charming."

"Alright, this is it! Let's win this war! Let's return this place to what it was before this happened!" Sonic shouted

"For all those that live in these lands! We shall terminate the Lion King! To arms, everyone! We must return the Holy Land to its rightful glory!" Lancelot shouted

The crowd roars, ready to fight alongside the two in the battle against the Holy City. However, all of a sudden, a Sandstrom suddenly begins around the army.

"What on earth is going on!? A sandstorm in the Holy City? That's never happened before!" Lancelot confuse

"Look! There's a storm falling from the northern sky! As though it were swallowing the Holy City!"

"Senpai, am I seeing things? I thought I just saw a large skull in the sandstorm." Mash said

"What are you talking about? I didn't see anything right now." Sonic replied

"I'm not detecting an ounce of magic from that storm! That is a natural phenomenon! I can only call this divine intervention!"

"*Bell Noises Rung* This bell! Sir Lancelot! That is the power of the great founder! My promise has been fulfilled! We advance!" Cursed Arm shouted

"This is a battle of speed! Stay away from Gawain. Avoid him, and make your way to the castle walls!" Lancelot shouted

"-CHARGE!"

"-CHARGE!"

Moments later, both armies charged at each other as they began their final battle. Many soldiers were fighting against each other. Many men fought their bravest to take down as many Enforcement Knights. Many of them fell from attacking the Enforcement Knights. Sonic, Mash, and Da Vinci also attacked the Enforcement Knights, taking down as many as possible. Lancelot, Bedivere, Touta, Cursed Arm, and Sanzang also put up a good fight against the Enforcement Knights and took them. The Village soldiers slowly but defiantly have taken down Enforemcnet Knights. It was a blood scene for both armies battling to the death. For several minutes, both troops fought to the end, losing many soldiers in the process, but it was for the beer since the Holy City soldiers were starting to be pushed back in all Units. That only made things easier since Sonic used his speed to travel in different areas around the battlefield and help the soldiers fight and push back the Enforcement Knights from their positions.

"Tell the soldiers on the wall to only aim for enemies directly below us! I know even that's difficult in a storm like this, but that's better than accidentally shooting one of our own!" Gawain Commanded

"Sir Gawain, the Third Unit at the right flank is requesting backup! A strange cavalryman is running amok! The report says they're being hit with waves of white grains! They cannot move from their current location!"

"It's probably an enemy Servant, do not engage! Sir Mordred's unit is on its way. Hold your ranks until they arrive!" Gawain replied

"Sir Gawain, a message from the First Unit at the left flank! They are at risk of being completely overrun!"

"Are you implying our finest knights are being pushed back by mere villagers!? Who's leading the assault!? That Blue creature they call Sonic The Hedgehog and his Servants?!" Gawain shock

"It seems to be led by not just a Blue creature but also a Knight in purple armor."

"Sir Lancelot is leading the assault as well?! That is unfortunate. Tell everyone on the left flank to retreat and regroup with the Fourth Unit. After that, you will rally with the troops on the right side. I will use my Sword. I will incinerate all enemies, along with all traitors!" Gawain commanded

"Listen, knights of the Holy City! Sir Gawain is marching out! That is the end for our enemy. There's no need for us too!"

"Thou shalt not leave. The sandstorm has shrouded thy followers and severed thy escape."

"I assume you are the one behind this sandstorm. A great party trick, but foolish nonetheless. You have some nerve to appear before me! While the sun shines, I am invincible! My Sword is second only to the Lion King's himself! It matters not who you are. You are no match for me. *Attacks The Figure Only For His Attack To Be Blocked* Guh!? Impossible. You evade my strike with your coat!? Who are you!?" Gawain shock

"*Appears* I am Hassan-i Sabbah. I come from the valley of death to bring the living with me. Look upon the heavens, foolish knight. Does the sun shine above thine head?"


*Someplace Else*

As the battle continues on the ground. The Soldiers all soon began to climb over the wall of the Holy City. The Sphinx has also arrived and started helping the army fight back the Holy City army. Though the SPhinxs have come to help, more and more Allied Soldiers begin to drop dead, and the arrows from the walls have flown towards them astabbedtab the soldiers in the heart.

"Climb! The sandstorm won't last forever! Let's get a ladder and get up on that wall now!"

"Remain calm! They can't reach the top of the wall! We will pick them off one by one! We must not open the gate without the Lion King's orders! Peasants like them are not worthy of looking upon the Holy City!"

"The sphinxes are attacking the main gate, but there's not even a scratch! What should we do?" Da Vinci said

"Just as I expected when entering this battle. It wasn't going to be easy." Sonic said

"Camelot Castle will only grant access to those with righteous hearts. Malicious attacks alone will not bring down the gate!" Bedivere replied

"The Enforcement Knights are taking us out one by one," Mash said

"Lord Hassan is facing off with Sir Gawain. That is probably our once-in-a-lifetime chance! We've got no choice, Sir Bedivere! Can you do something about the gate with your Airgetlám!?" Da Vinci asks

"This is the most terrible shame of my life! My Airgetlám has no effect on Camelot. I cannot raise a sword against it no matter what!"

"Sonic, what about your sword?!" Da Vinci asks

"A sword battled against its own home or fighting its user very soon. It cannot raise against this gate as well." Sonic replied


*With Sanzang And Touta*

The two rode on a horse while attacking as many enemies as possible while running towards the Gate of the Holy City.

"Touta, run the other way! Head past the front gate and for that wall over there!" Sanzang shouted

"There are enemies everywhere, though! No, I guess that means there's more for me to fight! Out of the way! Tawara Touta, coming through!"

"Keep going, and don't stop!"

"Do you have a plan!? What? Hey, what are you going to do? Wait, what are you doing behind my back?" Touta confuse

"I'm getting my Final Buddha Palm ready. We need to get rid of that front gate. At this rate, everyone's going to suffer and die. As a follower of the Buddha, I can't have that. Your spiritual journey continues into the next life. So I don't want these lives to end in suffering." Sanzang replied

"Can you destroy it, Sanzang!? And what is the Final Buddha Palm!?"

"It's a Buddhist secret. Touta, it would help if you learned it from the Bodhisattva Hachiman. Soon, you'll get mad at me and tell me to stop. It kills me, you see." Sanzang said

"You idiot! Damn it! My horse won't stop! You tricked me when you told me to pass the front gate!"

"By the time you notice my trick, it's too late. I've got a lock on the Front Gate! Gate, gate, paragate, para sam gate bodhi svaha. Before that, I want to thank Sonic for being one of the nicest creatures I have ever met. I'm thrilled I had the opportunity to meet someone like you!" Sanzang said

"Sanzang!"

"Okay! Rapid Sutra Chanting, activate! I'll show the true power of the girl returning from Tianzhu! The fist of the Buddha shall shatter mountains! Get blown to pieces and REPEEEEEENT!"

Sanzang unleashes her Noble Phantasm towards the gate, breaking it open so the soldiers But only inside the Singularity. Can enter. However, this attack caused Sanzang to disappear from the fight singularity.

"The front Gate. The front gate was blown away! It's a miracle from heaven...! Everyone, run! If you can, carry the wounded!"

"That's Sanzang's Noble Phantasm! Sanzang did it!" Mash shock

"That's Sanzang for you," Sonic said

"S-She destroyed the Gate of Camelot! Lady Sanzang was a peerless high priestess, wasn't she!?" Bedivere said

"That's right. She used it not to defeat but to save. It was something only she could achieve." Da Vinci said

"Everyone is heading inside the city! Let's follow them, Master!"

"Well done, Xuanzang Sanzang. As your disciple, I am very proud.m going to give the people of the Holy City some delicious rice. You go on ahead to paradise and relax." Touta said


*Inside The Castle*

"Lord AgrFront, the front gate's been destroyed! We must tell the Lion King! It's only time before they make it to the castle town. Tell the king to use his Light of Judgment!"

"There's no need. Even if the front gate has fallen, we still have the Knights of the Round Table. Tristan is stationed in the castle town. Mordred's forces are outside. Their momentum is temporary. That sandstorm will soon disappear. Continue the fight until it does." Agravain said

"No, Sir Mordred's unit has been routed! It no longer exists!"

"That is a surprise. The greatest surprise since I have come to the Holy Land. What happened?"

"Another similar unit defeated Sir Mordred's raiders. Sir Lancelot has betrayed us. The Knight of the Lake no longer stands with the Holy City!"


*With The Group*

The army has finally broken into Camelot as the battle continues inside. Buildings everywhere caught on fire, and blood splattered around as well.

"This is the Holy City, Camelot, created by the sacred lance. At last, I've made it." Bedivere said

"Looks kinda sorry looking," Sonic commented.

"A massive number of magical energy responses is approaching! Until now, it's been a mix of soldiers and Enforcement Knights, but these guys aren't even human anymore. They're a divine construct created by the sacred lance's magical energy and more powerful than anything we've faced before!" Romani shouted

"There's no sign that they're hiding in the buildings. The people of the Holy City are gone. Only the soldiers are here. The Holy Selection is over, and the sacred lance has absorbed the people?" Mash saiwereIf that was the case, the vicinity around the Holy City would already be at the world's edge. There's a good chance they've been evacuated since the battle started. To the Lion King, the citizens are irreplaceable people. I'm sorry, that was wrong of me to say! Anyway, for now, let's fight!" Da Vinci said

"You heard her. Let's continue the fight and force our way towards the Castle!" Sonic said

Soon enough, they continued running and fighting the Enforcement Knights that were stopping them from advancing into the Holy City. For several minutes, Sonic, Mash, Bedivere, and Da Vinci all fought their hardest to defeat and push back the Enforcement Knights on their own without the army's help. Wave after wave, Enforcement Knights arrived and attacked the group, trying to finish them off, but the group wasn't going to let that happen and continued fighting. Eventually, the group defeated each Enforcement Knight, blocking them as they continued running toward the Castle as quickly as possible.

"HA! For being high skilled Knights. they were still no match for my speed!" Sonic said

"We've eliminated the Enforcement Knights! The path's clear, Master!" Mash said

"The Allied Forces' soldiers are coming inside the city, but there's a lot of them. They'll run into the Enforcement Knights eventually. Their forces are taking control of the area around the main gate and heading towards the city's center. The Castle. They're about an hour or so behind you, I think. Let's get to the Castle while they distract the city's soldiers!" Romani said

"Let's head to the castle before the other Knights of the Round Table catch up, Senpai!" Mash replied


*Back At The Castle*

"It's very noisy out there, Agravain. Did you allow invaders into the Holy City?" Lion King asks

"I failed to realize they had enough to stop Sir Gawain. The Main Gate has fallen, and the enemy is inside the city. So please, my liege. There is no need to waste any more time. The Holy Selection is finished. All that remains is your decision. Bring the Tower at the Ends of the World here. Create the millennial kingdom you once failed to create in Britain! Create the ideal country, which threatens no one, and which no one may invade." Agravain replied

"Very well. If Agravain of Iron wishes for such a thing, I shall grant it. The waves from the Ends of the World have reached my throne. The Round Table will close, and this area will become a stairway. Camelot will be visited by a time of stormy waves. It is time for all to be ruled by my hand, in the name of the King of Storms."


*Back WIth Sonic And The Others*

"Wait! The magical energy gauge is maxed out! Stop! Stop, everyone! This response matches the level of a space-time fracture! Something monumental is about to appear there!"

The group watched as the Castle began to glow bright yellow, and a wall surrounded it.

"What the?!"

"Doctor, it's a wall! Something that looks like a wall of light is surrounding the Castle!"

"This light is the same as the Sacred Sword. It's the exterior of the holy lance Rhongomyniad!" Bedivere shock

"I'm detecting a gravitational collapse from all corners of that era! The world has started to close! The far end of the world that Sanzang saw. That space, it's heading right for the Holy City!" Romani shouted

"The Tower at the Ends of the World is going to be made soon!" Bedivere said

"The Allied Force is being pinned at the Front Gate. The Holy City guards are using this chance to make their move. They'll be wiped out! We need to do something to get rid of the wall somehow!" Romani shouted

"There is no way you'll break this."

"Mordred!"

"So, we meet again, huh? Are you happy that we are still alive just for you?" Sonic asks

"Are you going to start making fun of me again? Don't worry. I'll shut that mouth of yours once I kill you! Where's your friend?" Mordred said

"Friends?"

"You know, the Archer that was with you! Is he at the rear sniping again?! Hey, show yourself!" Mordred shouted

"Arash Kamangir is gone. He defeated the Light of Judgment and saved the village." Mash replied

"I see. So he died before I could beat him, huh? Damn it. He won and ran away." Mordred said

"And he ran away with a good heart as well," Sonic commented

"Shut up! He stopped Father's sacred lance! I can't believe some minor no-name took that lance out first. You're all going to burn from Father's lance anyway! Now get ready, wimps! I'll at least give you the honor of dying by my hand!" Mordred shouted

"We have no time to waste on your desire for destruction," Bedivere said

"Huh? Are you picking a fight with me, you coward!?"

"I am true! It is a disgrace that you call yourself King Arthur's heir! No matter how cruel you were, you once did your duties as a general. But now there's not a trace of that! You fight alone! Without taking command of your men! And you look at this situation and think nothing of it? The king is trying to burn the world and his men!"

"Are you stupid or something? My Father's killing his men? Of course, he would! Listen! An army is the last thing the Lion King needs! The Lion King's idea is a city with no war. In that case, why would you need an army!? We're going to protect the Holy City and die here! We'll be the Foundation of Humanity created by the Lion King! That's what the Lion King's Round Table is all about! You were at King Arthur's side to the last. How would you know about our feelings!?"

Suddenly, Sonic lunges towards Mordred and slashes her downwards, throwing her back a few feet. Mordred, shocked from the amount of force the Sword pushed her back, gets angry as she charges toward Sonic and attempts to attack him with sword slashes but Sonic blocks each sword attack with his Sword and backflips away soon after as Mash lunges towards Mordred and swings her shield at her several times, as well as Mordred who both clang weapons towards one another. As the two were clanging weapons over and over. Bedivere dashes towards Mordred and slashes across Mordred, and knocks her away from Mash. Bedivere continues to attack Mordred with sword attacks before stabbing her through her army and causing blood to spew out. Mordred continues the fight as she pushes Bedivere back ,but Sonic runs around Mordred and slashes her at different angles before striking her and throwing her towards a building wall. Hitting it and falling down soon after. Mordred slowly gets up from the ground, but Da Vinci dashes toward her and throws a punch that knocks Mordred a few feet back, bleeding in the mouth. Bedivere then unleashes strong sword attacks, stabbing through the armor and bleeding a ton before striking her and causing her to kneel and spit out blood.

"*Bleeding* It'll take more than that. I'm not going to disappear. The only one who can end me is King Arthur." Mordred said

"Why would I ever want to defeat King Arthur's son?" Sonic asks

"What?!"

"Mordred, You are the Knight of Treachery. The day you want to serve King Arthur from the bottom of your heart will never come. The same is true for me. I was at the king's side at the end because I was weak. I was not able to save him on the battlefield. We were both incompetent as knights. We were never worthy of being by the king's side. Despite being hated by the king, you still possess this innocent dream. The dream of serving the king. In that sense, you have surpassed me. You live a much purer life than a sinner like me." Bedivere said

"What the hell are you talking about? This is lame. I lost to a coward in a fight and lost to their trash talk. If the Knight of Treachery loses to a traitor, what's the point of me staying?" Mordred said before vanishing away

"Mordred's Spirit Origin is gone. Only three enemy knights of the Round Table remain." Mash said

"We don't have much time! Let's go!" Sonic said

Before the four can continue their journey, Mordred's sword suddenly flies toward Sonic and begins to glow. Sonic's sword begins to shine as well as Mordred's sword before it disappears in front of him, and the light dies down.

"Whoa, what just happened, Senpai?" Mash confuse

"Sonic, why did yours and Mordred's sword suddenly begin to glow? What's the meaning of this?!" Bedivere asks

"*Smiles* The fun has just begun, my friends," Sonic replied


*Grand Temple*

"Pharaoh, your prophecy has come true. The Tower at the Ends of the World has appeared at the Holy City." Nitocris said

"Hahaha, I knew it! The Lion King must have gotten rather desperate! Sonic has joined the battle. I expected nothing less from that Blue Rodent. I mean, they are the heroes who made me genuinely laugh! Fwahahahahahahaha! Then, I must reward them worthy of their exploits. Open the eye of the great temple! Activate the Great Lightbulb Dendera! Reroute all magical energy from anti-enforcement defense to the lightbulb! I will use all the energy stored in this temple to unleash my ultra-long-range divine punishment upon the Holy City!" Ozymandias commanded

"Yes, my pharaoh! Releasing pyramid's composite armor! Begin magical energy compression acceleration rituals! Stabilize outputs from Abu el-Hol-class to Mesektet-class!" Nitocris said

"*Temple Begins To Shake* You forgot about me, didn't you, Lion King? Indeed, I didn't use the ultra-long-range divine punishment out of wariness for your Light of Judgment. However, that is no longer possible for you! You cannot unleash the Light of Judgment when that tower is up. And that is why I strike now! My divine lightning shall shatter your lance!"

"No, if the Light of Judgment does come, I'll block it! Rest assured and focus on controlling the lightning ball, my pharaoh!"

"That is my intention from the beginning. You just stand there and witness my glory. All judgment is to be passed down by the hands of pharaohs! For a mere king who's not even a god. No, I am sure you are a goddess by now. HOWEVER! I am the pharaoh! And that is why I will show you what it means to be a true God King! Great Light of Amun-Ra, open your eyes! Behold, Meryamun!"

Moments later, A Ball Of Energy Forms And Fires straight at the Castle, where it contacts the wall and explodes on impact.

"The divine punishment has landed! But it didn't work! There's a wall of magical energy surrounding the city! The lightning has not reached the tower!"

" How bold! So you had a trick up your sleeve too, Lion King? Then I'll hit you twice, no, ten times! I'll turn half my Spirit Origin into magical energy and use it to accelerate the great temple! The walls of the Holy City are like paper to me! Fwahaha! I pity you, Tower at the Ends of the World!" Ozymandias said

The beam continues to get stronger and begins to weaken the walls.

"*Slowly Begins To Fade Away* Do not look back, Nitocris! I will not allow you to worry about me!"

"Movement from the Holy City! The Tower is aiming at us. It's the Light of Judgment!" Nitocris shouted

"Ugh!"

"Give me a moment! I'll take care of this! *Creates A Mirror Over The Temple And Blocks The Light Of Judgement* Graaaaah!"

"Nitocris, you're using the Mirror of the Underworld to stop the light from coming down from above, right? I still have strength left. Pharaoh Nitocris, do you require my aid? No, there was no need to ask. You'll burn yourself to ash before you ask for help. That's the kind of woman you are. Lion King, you have won this duel of Noble Phantasms! But the more significant battle is a tie! When you aimed for me, you left yourself open! My Noble Phantasm is still intact! Even your sacred lance is like an ancient, rickety ship before this colossal mass! O monument of the sun, and O great stone, O pyramid which rules the universe! The sun descends here, in our absolute brilliance Ramesseum Tentyris Fall is! *Activates Noble Phantasm*"

"Ramesseum Tentyris. You've destroyed the Tower at the Ends of the World, my king! And so I too shall! I shall protect the king's home, even if I must offer my soul to the underworld god! My mirror is the darkness that drives away all light!"

"No need. You've done enough. There is no need for more. And I don't want you being taken to the underworld. I don't like that place. I'm taking a rest now. You rest too, Pharaoh Nitocris. Don't push yourself too hard. You're a little too kind to rule the darkness."

"...No, that's not true. I am still an inexperienced pharaoh."


*Back At The Holy City*

The army witnessed the attack from Ozymandias on the Holy City and the breaking of the pillar of light.

"The pyramid destroyed the pillar of light in the Holy City! There's no need to fear the Lion King now!"

"Sir Tristan is in the Holy City! The rebels who entered are probably being executed right now! Once this sandstorm is gone, we'll have the advantage! If Sir Gawain can just restore order at the front gate!"

"*Currently Fighting Hassan* Tch..."

"*Currently Fighting Gawain* ..."

"It has been an hour since we began this battle, and he has not slowed! But I am becoming accustomed to his fighting style. Even this swordsman is not immortal. There must be a way!" Gawain thought

"That's enough. The tolling of the bell has passed. *The Sandstrom Vanishes*." Hassan said

"No, he stopped it?"

"There is no need for the sand any longer. My robe no longer blocks out the sky. The sunlight shall illuminate the sins of the Lion King." Hassan said

"Once the sunlight returns, my sacred sword will be invincible!" Gawain said

"Arrogance is warranted. That light could not even awaken one who is asleep."

"Huh?!" Galatine, uninhibited by the sandstorm, can you still deflect even under the sun it? Why did you stop the sandstorm? Half a year ago, you could defeat the Lion King if you were the Old Man of the Mountain." Gawain shock

"My blade is only a threat to those disobeying heaven's will. The will of heaven has not tasked me to fight the Lion King. It has tasked them. Thus there is no need for my blade. Knight of the Sun, your blade has proven thine innocence. The passing of the bell is proof. The will of heaven calls thou to that Castle. If thou art a knight, thou must hurry. Before the sacred lance consumes thy chance to confess the last and only stagnation within thou. *Disappears*."

"He's gone. Did he let me go? No, he is not so compassionate."

"Sir Gawain, you're safe! That was a glorious battle with the enemy leader!"

"So that's how he looked to you."

"He seemed to be a terrifying swordsman. Just one glance was chilling."

"I never thought I would see the day I could battle such a splendid knight. I feel a little guilty toward the rest of the Round Table. I will return to the Castle. You men hold the gate. The battle will be decided in an hour, I am sure. If the court goes up in flames. Take your men and head north. However, you may find it hard to reach. Get as many as possible home. This expedition was doomed from the start, but thank you for coming. I have no intention of being defeated. My comrades from the Round Table still fight." Gawain said


*With Sonic And The Others*

"Looks like that Sun God decided to give us a hand," Sonic said

"Man, talk about a brute force method! I said we were out of options, but forget that! Anyway, the Tower at the Ends of the World has shattered. That's a fatal blow to the Holy City Army." Da Vinci said

"As long as the Lion King survives, the collapse won't stop!" Romani said

"Let's hurry! Once we're through the castle town area, we'll reach the Castle!" Mash said

"*Arrives On A Horse* Sonic! Sir Bedivere!"

"Oh, hey there, Lancelot. Glad to see you still in one piece." Sonic said

"The Alliance Army is in total control. Many archers on the castle walls are surrendering. They saw what just happened with their own eyes. They probably lost the will to fight. The biggest factor was the absence of Lord Gawain. He seems to have returned to the Castle." Lancelot explains things

"Looks like another battle against him is upon us once again. But this time, we're ready!" Sonic said

"What about you, Sir Lancelot? Will you come with us?" Da Vinci asks

"No, I must look for Agravain. He is too dangerous to ignore."

"Sir Agravain? He hasn't changed even in The Lion King's Round Table, huh?"

"Okay, then let's split up. We'll take a direct route to the Castle from the front. You're going around the back, right Sir Lancelot? That's where the bad guys tend to escape from." Da Vinci said

"We will go ahead and capture Agravain. Then we will meet at the Lion King's throne!" Lancelot said

"That's what I hear from you, Lancelot! Helping a Hedgehog like me again!" Sonic replied

"What do you mean again? *Runs Off Towards The Castle*."

Soon after, the four began running toward the Castle as well fast as possible.

"By the way, Sir Bedivere. You were saying something odd about Sir Agravain, weren't you? What was that about? I am inquisitive!" Da Vinci said

"Sir Agravain inspired hatred and fear in the knights. I realized it's the same this time, too, is all. For some reason, Sir Agravain makes no effort to be liked by anyone. As a result, the people around him viewed him as cold. His blood relatives, Sir Gawain, Sir Gaheris, and even little Miss Gareth, all misunderstood him. I hated him. But later, I realized. The collapse of the Round Table and the fall of Camelot began after Sir Agravain's death. The king needed him. Perhaps more than Merlin, the court mage." Bedivere said

Suddenly, a silent arrow appears and heads straight towards Bedivere, but Sonic quickly blocks the arrow with his sword.

"Looks like our conversation will have to be cut short. Literally." Sonic said

"How sad. Another ten steps, and I could've been close enough to slice you into ribbons. But yet again, that creature's remarks irritate me. You escaped your fate once before, from that dump of a village. Now let me see your last struggles one more time." Tristan said

"Tristan. The one I know vanished in that village. Immature as I may be, I am a knight serving the King of Knights. You are a knight of the Lion King, and I cannot let you defeat me!" Bedivere said

"The Round Table you knew never existed here. We are lions—monsters with the heart of beasts. We think nothing of slaughtering you, destroying this era, and being the only ones to survive. I'm sorry, but that's all I have left. So let us end this." Tristan said

"Let's take him down!"

"Took the words out of my mouth," Sonic said

"This time, his bow will snap in two!" Mash shouted

Tristan pulls each string on his bow as several arrows head towards the four. Bedivere blocks a couple of them, and Sonic dodges each hand while Mash blocks them with her shield with Da Vinci behind. Soon after, Bedivere lunges toward Tristan as he swings his sword at him multiple times, but Tristan blocks each sword attack with his bow. While blocking Bedivere's attacks, Sonic appears behind Tristan and slashes him several times in the back, dealing damage and leaving sword marks. Tristan pulls the strings from his bow as more arrows head towards Bedivere and Sonic, forcing them to jump away from him and miss the hands from hitting them. Tristan pulls the strings on his bow again as several more arrows head toward Mash, who is charging him and blocks each indicator heading towards her. Soon enough, Mash swings her at Tristan several times, attempting to land a hit on Tristan but manages to stop each of her attacks without trying. Tristan was about to pull the strings on his bow again, but Sonic hones towards Tristan with his sword glowing and strikes him several times. As Tristan was bust fighting Mash, Da Vinci aimed her gauntlet toward Tristan and fired it in the direction of Tristan. Tristan quickly moves aside as the gauntlet flies past him and hits the wall of a building instead. Mash backs away as Sonic lunges toward Tristan and clangs weapons towards one another. The two stood in their positions, trying to disrupt the function other before pushing each other away. Sonic charges his sword once more and dashes toward Tristan, unleashing a series of sword attacks that Tristan can't dodge, dealing tons of damage and injuring him before striking him and throwing him towards the building wall. Hit it and fell to the ground soon after. Tristan then got up from the floor and stood still without doing anything.

"Certainly, you have improved. You are no longer one I can kill with minimal effort. However, the same can be said for you. You cannot kill me if I am focused on defense. That is what you call a stalemate. That alone will accomplish the Lion King's ambition. Ah, so boring, so difficult to bear." Tristan said

"What the heck are you even talking about?" Sonic said

"He doesn't mean to defeat us!" Mash said

"At this rate, neither side will score a winning hit. The first time I saw Tristan, I had a hunch that this Archer falls under the category of "deplorable."And it seems my intuition was right. He's being atrocious!" Da Vinci said

"What you call tragedy, we call it a comedy!"

"Is that who I think it is?" Sonic said

"My apologies for making you wait, Sonic. I'm sure we have much to discuss, especially the fierce battles. But at the moment, we are in a race against time. Please, go on ahead. This man is our prey. By the pride of the Old Man of the Mountain, I swear we will take his life." Cursed Arm said

"Thank you, Cursed Arm. It was a pleasure teaming up with you. Let's go, everyone! *Begins Running With The Others Behind*" Sonic replied

"Save your thanks when you defeat the Lion King. But, this is goodbye for now as well." Cursed Arm said

"Why the look of concern? Get going. We are, together, Old Men of the Mountain. We don't fight if there's no way to win. We've researched Tristan's history. We'll easily kill him, then hunt for the Lion King's head." Hundred Personas said

"Yes. Our fangs will reach that villainous Tristan. The rest is up to you. Go on, and be careful."

"It seems even the Knights of the Round Table have fallen. Are you so absorbed in chatting with your friends? You insects who have come here to be exterminated? I will dismember and gut you while preserving your heads, so die not along the way." Tristan said

"I'm not so sure about that plan. You don't hear us pleading for our lives either. I know you. I, Hundred Personas, will teach you that arrogance and contempt for us are the cause of your defeat!" Hundred Personas said


*A Few Minutes Later*

"*Taking Down Each Manifestation Of Persona* That makes 90. I heard you possess one hundred personas and can manifest each of them—what a disappointment. *Takes Down A Few More* Probably less than five. I do not have a scratch on me. You have wasted your time." Tristan said

"Is that what you think?" Hundred Personas said

"*Poison Surrounds Tristan* What is this mist!?" Tristan confuse

"Serenity, the poison flower that blooms in the darkness. This area is filled with my poison already. You thought you had the upper hand. But in fact, Hundred Personas and Cursed Arm were playing you. They purposely pushed you to the limit so you wouldn't notice the poison eating away at your body." Serenity said

"What did you do to me?"

"Your golden Iseult is gone, Tristan, Knight of the Round Table! Poison has ended your life, undefeated archer! You betrayed a woman, and then she crossed you! For a Heroic Spirit like you, poison is the eventual end of your fate! I'll tell you something. The white hand of Iseult has finally caught up with you. A fitting end for one who has killed many in the mountains, burned villages, and even tried to murder his brethren!"

"This truly makes me sad. *Pulls The Strongs As The Masks Of Senerity's and Hundred Personas Break*."

"Huh?"

"What the?! That was a lethal dose!"

"Oh, pardon me. I didn't tell you about my Gift, did I? The Gift I've been given is "Reversal." It initially turned me into a beast by removing any doubt in my heart. But its particular attribute ends up reversing everything. Therefore, right now, poison has no effect. Your desperate measure was in vain." Tristan said

"To think ou final plan was a wasted effect. *Dodges Arrows That Tristan Fire At Him* We've been fighting that bow all this time, yet we still cannot see its arrow." Cursed Arm said

"Of course not. I knew it would end if you tried to see it with your eyes. You three cannot defeat me."

"I am truly made aware of my powerlessness. However, even if I can't beat you, I know something that can. Suddenly Grabs Tristan's Arm* You've fallen for it! I've got your arm, Tristan!"

"You threw away your life and finally snatched my hand. But that is all. What can you do with that body when I've split open your belly and disemboweled you?" Tristan said

"I stole this arm from Shaytan. I've been controlling it through a curse. However, I've removed that curse. Shaytan will take over my body and devour me, a thief, and you, a sacrifice." Cursed Arm said

"*Is Getting Pulled By The Arm* Why won't you let go!? Get away from me! You're using our Spirit Origins as bait!?" Tristan desperately tried to remove the hand

"One that pierces through your entire body! And I'm sorry, Sir Tristan. Even though you're my enemy, I can't help but admire that technique. How much of your heart and soul did you put into that bow? However, hell is a fitting place for you! We'll go there together, Tristan!" Cursed Arm said

"I'm going to be eaten by an ugly monster like this!? You're feeling this agony, too! Why would you go this far!? Any Gift does not even bind you!"

"We coexisted with sterile soil, protected our brethren who live on this land, and made the lessons of this earth our concern! We don't care about some utopia! We loved the people who lived on this land! Just like Sonic. We lived for that, and for that, we died! That is the original law of us, the Old Man of the Mountain!"

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhh! *Fires An Arrow At Cursed Arm And Pushes Him Back* Giving me the freedom of a hand was a mistake. I can fire Failnaught with but a finger. Somehow I managed to separate myself from the Old Man of the Mountain. But it does seem I'm late. Shaytan has already devoured half of me. A frightening level of tenacity, or "faith." Tristan said

"*A Faceless Figure In A Cloak Appears* Is that I reflected in the window? Heh. Since coming to this land, there has been nothing but misery. And yet, in the end, it seems I saw something amusing."


*At The Castle*

The four finally made their way inside the castle, running as fast as they could towards the highest court level where the Lion King was waiting.

"This is the fastest route to the throne. Come on!" Bedivere said

"For some reason, I can sense a Chaos Emerald inside this building. But where in the heck is it?" Sonic said

"Will find it soon enough. Don't worry." Da Vinci replied

"Sir Bedivere, how are you feeling?" Mash asks

"You don't have to worry about me. My arm has been feeling better for a while now, and I should also be feeling better shortly. Your words comfort me, and I am no longer afraid."

"I'm detecting a strong Spirit Origin from down the rear stairs! A Knight of the Round Table! Sir Gawain is coming up!" Romani shouted

"And I stand corrected. We would be forced to fight a Knight." Sonic said

"So we meet again. Sir Sonic and Bedivere, Whether I strike you down here or I am the one to fall, the fate of the Holy City will not change. When the Tower appeared, our job here was done. The only thing left in the Round Table is for each of us to figure out how to serve the king." Gawain said

"Your resolve has not changed. In the end, you remain the sword of the king. You would not stop me from revealing the king's mistakes and denouncing the Holy City."

"The king said that when I was summoned here. The king told me I could do anything. I could leave the Holy City or even strike him down. You couldn't understand just how happy I was at that moment. You just happened to be there for the king and care for him in his final moments. I cannot repeat that foolishness. King Arthur is not the same king he once was. The king understands that more than anyone. He gave us all a choice from the beginning. Britain's Round Table has fallen to ruin. Our world has fallen to ruin. Why do you think we alone are left of the Round Table in the Holy City? It should not need to be said. The second chair, Percival. The third chair, Kay. The sixth, Gaheris. The ninth, Palamedes. The advisor, King Pellinore. The next 11th chair, Bors. After the king summoned them, they showed loyalty by revolting against the Lion King. They were all excellent knights. They challenged the king in a battle to protect the king's honor. And we disposed of them all. We were already branded sinners when we pledged our loyalty to the Lion King. No matter what happens, I will not betray the Lion King. Because King Arthur has the sacred lance, and he needed us, the Knights of the Round Table, to be the means to destroy this world. I am no longer a knight serving the King of Knights. I am Gawain, a knight serving the Lion King. Draw your swords, Sir Bedivere and Sir Sonic. What you want to protect and what I must protect are like oil and water. Allow me to ask once more, what is your sword for!?" Gawain said

"My right arm is the end of my loyalty, my proof of a sin that I could not erase for the sake of genuinely saving the one who walked alone. I will cut down anyone who stands in my way! With my arm, now the silver arm of Nuadha, Airgetlám!"

"*Pulls Out Sword* Gawain, say hello to Caliburn. *Charges Up Sword*." Sonic said

"Caliburn?!"

Sonic lunges at Gawain, performing a somersault attack that he manages to block but doesn't know the surprise attack as Sonic quickly speeds behind Gawain and strikes him in the back, pushing Gawain towards Bedivere and attacks him with several sword attacks across his body and slashing downwards as his finisher. Gawain regains his balance as he charges toward Bedivere as both begin clanging swords towards one another. Bedivere and Gawain attack and attempt to land a hit on one another, but no one will hit each other. As the two continue fighting each other. Sonic and Mash charge on both sides of Gawain as Mash swings her shield towards Gawain, hitting him while Sonic strikes Gawain with a sword attack, disrupting his fight against Bedivere. Soon after, Bedivere attacks Gawain multiple times at different angles around his body before charging up Airgetlám and slashing Gawain across his armor, exploding and throwing him towards the wall, hitting it and falling soon after. Gawain, affected by the attack, slowly gets up to continue the fight, but Sonic rushes toward Gawain and is about to attack. However, Sonic faked his oncoming attack as runs around Gawain, creating a tornado that sweeps up Gawain to the floor and sends him flying toward a pillar of the castle, destroying it and falling and crashing down soon after the tornado attack. Mash then rushes towards Gawain and throws a punch towards Gawain's face, knocking him back soon after.

"So this is it, huh? To lose by Caliburn from another world. I guess the honest King Arthur heard about our deeds and decided to fix it all by himself." Gawain said

"What are you talking about, Sir Gawain? Another King Arthur?" Bedivere confuse

"*Walks Towards Gawain And Places His Hand On His Shoulder* Just like the Gawain by in my world. Here's one way you can redeem yourself to be worthy of the Round Table again. *Looks At Gawain's Sword He Was Holding.*" Sonic said

"My sword?" Gawain said


*Somewhere Else Inside The Castle*

"*Bleeding* Ugh!"

"Your plot ends here, Agravain. I will not kill you. We both became traitors when we cut down our Round Table brethren. However, I cannot ignore your evil plans. You will pay for the numerous atrocities you've caused in the king's name." Lancelot said

" Haha, hahaha. Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha. I can't stop laughing!"

"Did you use the Madness Enhancement you placed on the Enforcement Knights yourself!? You!"

"One day, you will rule over Britain." That was the grudge I had to hear when I was growing up. Through the plan of my mother, Morgan, I got to sit among you all. I did not want to be a Knight of the Round Table, but I suppose that was the fastest way. I was but a tool to steal the throne away from King Arthur and give it to my mother. I just wanted Britain to continue. I used King Arthur to that end. I used our king. *Lunges At Lancelot And Attacks But Was Blocked* I wanted a king that would labor. A king that would, even slightly, extend Britain's life. I just needed someone for my plan. I did not care who became king. King Arthur was the best. That is all. King Arthur was easier to use than Morgan. I hate women. Morgan was a vixen, ugly to her core. And Guinevere, who extolled virtue, fell in love with you. I have and will continue to hate women. I will continue to despise humans. And I will continue to resent the emotion of love. Do you understand the relief I felt when I found out the first person that made me fear being resented...was a man? That's what you and Guinevere have done. You cannot even fathom the emptiness I felt in my heart when I found out of my king's pain." Agravain said

"Agravain."

"This is what you deserve. You have once again betrayed my king."


*This Is It, The Lion King's Throne*

Finally, after fighting their way through the Holy City, taking down many enemies along the way. Meeting Servants willing to help them reach their, eventually obtaining the Holy Grail. Sonic, MAsh, Da Vinci, and Bedivere finally arrive at the Lion King's throne.

"So this is it, huh? So you're the Lion King, huh? *Notices The White Chaos Emerald But The Lion King Appears In Front Of It.*" Sonic said

"I'll be answering the questions. Why did you come to my castle? Why do you show yourselves before me? I am the Lion King. The King of the Storm and the Lord reside over the World's Ends. The remnant of the hero who wields the sacred lance Rhongomyniad. Sonic The Hedgehog is a traveler from an unknown world. Last Master of Chaldea. Or should I say, King Arthur? With the Sacred Sword Caliburn in your hand. Why have you come to see me?" Lion King asks

"W-What?! Sonic is King Arthur?!" Bedivere shock

"S-Senpai?! Is that true? What's going on here? Are you King Arthur?" Mash shock

"From my world, yes. I kept it secret for a long time. But now you know why. That is why I am here to fix this Camelot. I am here to defeat the fake King Arthur. You. I witnessed all the pain humans went through because of their ideals. Going into many battles and watching the people suffer. That isn't something the real King Arthur would agree to, huh?" Sonic replied

"Unfortunately, you are not chosen by the sacred lance. Your soul knows good but commits evil. While it is good, it allows evil. However, you aren't human yourself, which is why you shall die here. Your soul is not needed in my utopia. *Lance Appears In Her Hand* Behold, the wave of the Ends of the World. When the outer layer is removed, the true face of the planet is revealed. *The Throne's Room Changes*." Lion King said

"So the Lion King was waiting at the End of the World from the beginning!" Da Vinci said

"*Charges Caliburn Sword* Creating another Kingdom that never ends, huh? You're not the first time to ever do such a thing." Sonic said

"Humanity will be incinerated, and history will become nothingness. But that goes against my purpose. A god cannot exist without humans. I will protect you no matter the cost. If the King of Mages is allowed this much freedom, I will do as I see fit. I love all of you. You are important to me. That is why I cannot bear to lose you. I've decided to grant humans eternity to souls worthy of remaining in the next world. I shall gather those purest souls, freeze them, and archive them. No matter how much time passes, I will store them in my lance as something whose value will never change. Mash Kyrielight, you understand my ideal, don't you?" Lion King said

"..."

"The only thing that you care about more is destroying humans! Not caring about them! I don't need a god to control me. I don't need someone as a fake King Arthur to look over this world and expect them to be given the respect they believe in. I may be from another planet, but I won't allow you to control this world as it was. No one would be ruling this world! That's why I am here to take you down even if it kills me. As someone once told me, "A Knight never leaves his foes." Sonic is getting ready to battle

"Hmph, a true Knight you are. Then face me, King Arthur from another world. I will show who the real Arthur is."

"You're on!"

"SENPAI!"

"-SONIC!"

"-SONIC!"

Sonic lunges toward Lion King and slashes downwards on her, but Lion Block's Caliburn attacks her Lance and pushes Sonic away from her. Sonic skids on the ground, jump right at Lion King, and unleash a series of powerful; sword attacks, but the Lion King blocks each attack with her lance and counters back by striking Sonic in the chest and sending him flying, hitting the Throne and falling onto the floor. Sonic looks up and notices Lion King charging toward him and attempting to strike him with the Lance, but Mash rushes in front of Sonic and blocks the Lion King's attack from attacking Sonic again. However, due to the Lion King's strength, the attacks pushed Mash further and further back due to the amount of force. As the Lion King continues to attack Mash, Bedivere and Da Vinci rush in Bedivere attacks the Lion King but blocks it and pushes him away from her. Da Vinci throws a punch toward the Lion King but is also secured and pushes her away. The lion King then goes Mash out of the way as Sonic quickly jumps right at her as the two clash weapons over and over. The sword and lance, scared weapons, fought one another, clanging noises that shook the place. Both Arthurs battle against each other, trying to take one another down. Sonic and Lion King continue to clash weapons with one another. As the two continue to fight, Sonic backflips away and performs a somersault attack toward Lion King, attempting to attack multiple times, but Lion King disrupts Sonic and attacks him once again, throwing him into the air as she jumps with her horse and strikes Sonic down, who manages to block it but drops him straight down and crashes into the floor, creating a crater around him. Sonic slowly gets up and notices the Lion King charging down towards him, blocks the incoming attack, and struggles to keep it away from finishing him off. As he continues to work, Bedivere rushes in and attacks the Lion King, pushing her away from Sonic, who he grabs in the arm and brings him back up on both his legs. The two then lunged toward the Lion King and began fighting her with all their strength. The two fought their hardest to fight the Lion King, but even with both attacking her simultaneously, Lion King was still overpowering them with her sacred lance. For a minute, the two continue to fight the Lion King, trying desperately to at least get one attack hit her, but it all fails when Lion King slashes Bedivere multiple times, sending him flying and crashing to the ground soon after while attacking Sonic multiple times, heavily injuring Sonic before striking him and sending him flying from the Lion King Before he could hit the ground, Mash catches him and places him safely on both feet, injured from the battle.

"Heh, expected from someone like you," Sonic said

"There's just too much difference between us. The power of divinity surpasses that of a genius. A normal Servant couldn't stand up against that." Da Vinci said

"Ugh! I can't...move my...legs!"

"*Still Standing But Heavily Injured* Is that all you can do? It will take more to down someone like me!" Sonic said

"I am the King of the Storm, the wave that will swallow this earth. I am the one who shall bring an end to this world! Your limited lives will receive eternity. I will freeze your lives that will burn up and store them. I will stop them from losing any value. That is the meaning behind "protecting" lives. The ultimate conclusion of what it means to protect humans." Lion King replied

"*Charges Up Caliburn Again* I'll allow you to do that!" Sonic said

"You're wrong. I disagree with your concept of happiness. I've seen a lot of different lives in this era! Many have died to protect others! Even if these losses continue to mount forever, life will continue to spread out, connecting us all!" Mash shouted

"..."

"..."

"Mash."

"Rhongomyniad! If you call yourself the Storm... If you're the end of the world...! I will fight you with everything I have!"

"Hmph. Show me. My sacred lance calls forth the storm. It shows the truth lying underneath the peeled skin of the world! Sacred lance, anchor unleashed. For thou art the Anchor of Storms which splits the sky and connects the earth. Unleash your light from the Ends of the World! Rhongomyniad!" Lion King shouted

"Master! I will prove the foundation of our Humanity! Director, this is for you!" Mash shouted

Moments later, Mash closes her eyes as a Green aura erupts around her and charges up. Now unleashing her Noble Phantasm, which she has been waiting for. The three watch in awe. Mash continues charging until it is set and ready to block Rhongomyniad.

"MASH! UNLEASH YOUR NOBLE PHANTASM!" Sonic shouted

"LORD CAMELOT! *Slams Her Shield On The Floor As A Giant Castle Appears Around Her And Blocks The Attack From The Lion King*. Ugh... Uhhh... Aaargh!"

As Mash uses all her strength to push back Rhongomyniad, Sonic walks over towards Mash, places his hands on the shield, and helps her push back Rhongomyniad. Using their strength, the two

"Relax yourselves. King Arthur, Sir Kyrielight. As long as the resolve in your hearts is true, that shield shall never falter. The white walls of Camelot answer to their wielder's heart. Doubts and impurities will cause cracks, and the walls will be crushed by the wave. However, the main gate shall never fall if you do not have a shred of hesitation in your heart. You are not a knight that defeats the enemy. You were chosen by the Round Table to show that good heart of yours. That goes for you, King Arthur. *Looking At Sonic* You are fighting not because to kill. You are fighting to protect the ones you love." Bedivere said

"Who are you? You seem like you're a knight too." Lion King said

"Y-You have to know him! He's Sir Bedivere, one of the Knights of the Round Table!"

"I don't know any knight by that name."

"But you should remember as soon as you see this. Switch on, Airgetlám. It is time for you to tear the Light of Judgment to pieces. *Charges Up Arm And Destroys The Light Of Judgement With All His Might*."

"...I know...that light. I... know that light! Just who are you? Why do I...!"

"Sonic. Thanks to you, I was able to come this far. I thank you for all of your kindness." Bedivere said

"*Notices Bedivere's Body Breaking* B-Bedivere!" Sonic said

"I am not a Servant. I have fooled everyone with Magecraft. Airgetlám here is the same." Bedivere replied

"Bedivere... I remember that name... It cannot be... You..."

" I have sinned. A foolish sin was born because I didn't want to lose the king. I hesitated to carry out your order in the forest. You would have truly died if the sacred sword was returned to the lake. I was afraid of that...and could not bear the sword even after the third try. When I returned to the forest, the King was gone. By not replacing the sword, the king was unable to die. The king kept the sacred lance and became the King of the Dead that wanders this earth. To make up for that sin, I looked for you... this whole time, trying to find an invisible shadow." Bedivere said

" I know the name Bedivere. But I have no memories of you. Are you Sir Bedivere? Very well. In that case, return to me. If you are my knight, obey my words! Return to my Round Table, Bedivere!" Lion King said

"I already am in the Round Table with Arthur. *Looks At Sonic* He is the true King Arthur." Bedivere replied

"What are you saying?! I'm the real King Arthur. I will always be the real King!"

"Sonic, or should I say, King Arthur. You are hiding something from us that will allow us to win. Now, it's time to show us your true self. Show us what you can do!" Bedivere said

"Ah, I see. So you finally caught on, huh? Well then, as you say so. I have been waiting to unleash this ever since I heard about the King Arthur of this world! Let's do this! *Closes Eyes As His Spikey Hair Raises*."

"Senpai..."

"Sonic..."

"This power... I can feel its strong presence!" Lion King said

Moments later, The Knights of the Round Table's weapons appeared above Sonic. Gawain's sword, Mordred's sword, Lancelot's sword, Tristan's bow, Mash's sword, and Bedivere's sword all began spinning around Sonic. The weapons turned faster and faster until a pillar of golden light erupted around Sonic. Inside, golden armor begins to cover his entire body. Feet armor represents his shoes, upturned and pointy toes, and short cuffs on each side. He also gets sharp kneepads, pelvis plates, small shoulder guards, and wrist cuffs with a pointed end and a red gem embedded in them. His helmet possesses a visor with silver accents, a red gem on the forehead, and wing-like ornaments on the visor joints. His helmet also covers his quills, followed by a red cape that runs down his armor. Mash, Da Vinci, Bedivere, and the Lion King watch as the Light dies down and reveals Sonic's new transformation.

"And so the King finally reveals himself." Da Vinci said

"S-Sonic?! Is that you?!" Romani shock

"S-Senpai... Have you been hiding this from us the whole time? That is the most beautiful thing I have ever seen from you before. I'm so glad I could meet someone like you." Mash said

"Never would I have thought I would see such a transformation like this before? You are something special, King Arthur." Bedivere said

"I have never seen anything like this before! That sword... It's completely different. W-Who are you?! Why are you doing this?! You aren't from this world!" Lion King said

"That may be true, but ever since I arrived here. My goal was to save this world from disappearing. Stopping people like you from taking it all away. This may not be m,y own world, but I wasn't going to stay back and watch it fall in front of me!" Sonic said

"Y-You!"

"Oh, and by the way. Names Excalibur Sonic. Now prepare for round two!" Sonic replied

"Excalibur Sonic?!"

"Look alive, Mash and Bedivere. It's all or nothing!" Excalibur Sonic said

"I will always stand by your side, Senpai! Let's do this!" Mash shouted

"Let's end this!"

Moments later, Excalibur Sonic lunges toward Goddess Rhongomyniad and attacks her with a single sword attack that pushes her back a few feet away from Sonic. The Lion King is shocked by the sudden change of strength as Sonic flies toward Rhongomyniad and begins to attack her with powerful sword slashes with Excalibur. Rhongomyniad blocks each powerful sword attack, but each slash pushes her back further and further behind. Sonic then flies back as Mash jumps at Rhongomyniad and attacks her with her shield, hitting her in the face and pushing her around. Mash wasn't done, however, as Mash performs an overhead axehead, kicking Rhongomyniad in the head and knocking her down from the force of the kick. Bedivere then attacks Rhongomyniad in the back with multiple sword attacks before striking her in the stomach and pushing her back. Rhongomyniad attempts to regain her focus as Sonic hones toward Rhongomyniad at incredible speeds and delivers a hasted combo of lighting fast and powerful slashes that Rhongomyniad wasn't able to block and deals massive damage to her. At the end of the combo, the force of the attack throws Rhongomyniad some distance away. Rhongomyniad, injured from the attack, charges at Sonic and attacks him with several attacks with her lance, but Sonic dodges them and counters back with an upwards slash, disrupting Rhongomyniad and jumps back as Bedivere lunges in and attacks Rhongomyniad now. Bedivere and Rhongomyniad clang weapons, but as they were attacking one another, Bedivere charges up Airgetlem once more before slashing Rhongomyniad across her body and exploding that, sending Rhongomyniad flying, backing with her horse and crashing into the ground soon after. As Rhongomyniad slowly stood up, Excalibur Sonic and Mash lunged toward her as the two began attacking her simultaneously, dealing tons of damage to Rhongomyniad and not letting her attack. As the two were attacking Rhongomyniad, Sonic began to charge up his sword and unleash more lightning short sword attacks, dealing tons of damage to Rhongomyniad and leaving scratch marks around the armor. Finally, after releasing a series of slashes. Sonic flies straight into the air and begins to unleash his ultimate attack on Rhongomyniad. Mash quickly jumps away as Rhongomyniad looks up and notices Sonic charging his sword with a summoning circle behind him. Rhongomyniad prepares to block the attack as Sonic hones toward Rhongomyniad, slashes through Rhongomyniad, and explodes soon after from the ultimate attack. Mash, Bedivere, and Da Vinci watch as Rhongomyniad kneels on the ground, heavily injured from the ultimate attack but still alive from that attack.

"I knew you'll still stand. You're different than the Dark Queen herself I fought before." Sonic said

"H-How?! How is this possible?! You're just a rodent, but you manage to outmatch me!" Lion King said

"*Removes Helmet* Hey, don't talk to me. Ask your member here you know dearly." Sonic replied

"On behalf of the Knights of the Round Table, thank you. We made you carry the burden of that dark era all by yourself. You alone weren't part of the Round Table's joy. Brave King of Knights, you are the one who saved Britain. You are my shining star. My King, my Liege, now... No, this time, I will return this sword to you." Bedivere said

"*Gets Stabbed By Bedivere* That forest. That hill. The face of the crying knight who watched over me to the end. Did you wander all these years out of regret for what happened? Well done. You are my last and most loyal knight. The sacred sword has been returned. Be proud, Bedivere. You have truly...fulfilled the order of your king."

"*Sir Bedivere has vanished. This world's Arthur's sacred sword has been returned." Mash said

"The loss of the sacred lance is also causing the Holy City to disappear. The disturbance in that era is completely gone."

"To meet a King Arthur from another world. One who desires to fix other Arthur realities for their mistakes. Is that why you arrived here?" Lion King asks

"It's deeper than that, Lion King. I never expected to fight King Arthur from another world before. Every world has its ends, Lion King. I know you intended to make this world a better place where no one lives in sorrow. But that's why we have live life to the fullest extent we have left. I may not be a human, but I also feel the emotions they think. That's why it's my mission to save Humanity from falling here." Sonic replied

"I see. You desire other lives than yourself. Something a true King would do." Lion King said

"Hey, Romani! I'm disappearing! What's going on here?" Da Vinci said

"Me too!"

"That's right! The Grail... Sonic already recovered the Holy Grail! The sacred lance that disturbed the Foundation of Humanity is gone, so the restoration is speeding up! Since the Holy City was impossible in that era, the restorative power was much faster than usual! Anything that wasn't originally part of this era is being forced back to where it belongs! Da Vinci, Mash, Sonic, you'll be sent back to Chaldea, so don't worry." Romani said

"Well, I guess this is goodbye. Lion King."

"You put up a good fight, Arthur. I have nothing to stop you anymore. My time ends here now. You must also know the King of Mages location. The King of Mages, Solomon. The temple where he resides in is outside the proper flow of time. Only the seventh Grail can show you his location. It is the only one he sent into the past himself." Lion King said

"In other words, the Seventh Singularity lies further in the past than King Solomon? I had thought that before his death, Solomon could tell which eras would be important to the Foundations of Humanity." Romani said

"Excellent speculation. Six Grails, six messengers speaking the names of the Demon Gods. Perhaps they were mages, let loose upon the world as the King of Mages' descendants until the hour of their awakening. They lived on from the era of the King of Mages and stayed a part of human history until 2018. But the seventh Grail alone was sent to the past by the King of Mages himself. And that was the first step toward the Incineration of Humanity. A move that shatters the very foundation of human history. Remember what he said? If you reach the seventh Grail, he might consider you a threat. He wasn't talking about simply acquiring the Grail. The seventh Grail is what makes the King of Mages confident. If it's not restored, human history will be incinerated." Lion King said

"I can't wait to meet with the King of Mages once again and defeat him once and for all!" Sonic said

"Heh, I do not doubt that. Sonic The Hedgehog. I almost forgot. *Shows The White Chaos Emerald* This might be yours, right? Take it. I don't need it as much as you need it." Lion King said

"The Sixth Emerald! *Gets Handed The White Chaos Emerald As he Smiles And Disappears, Now With Him* Thank you, Lion King! I appreciate it!" Sonic replied

"You must know, At the last Grail and the last Singularity lies an "evil" you can't even imagine. A great demon who perhaps surpasses the King of Mages himself. The original sin of humankind. Gather what you need to fight. Heroic Spirits who you call friends. Comrades with whom you have fully bonded." Lion King said

"Heh, whoever this guy is, he will get the beating of his life!" Sonic replied

Sonic and Lion King raised their Sacred swords and aimed them in the air as beams fired off their blades. Showing a sign of respect for both Kings.

"-To you, King Arthur!" Lion King said

"-To you, King Arthur!" Sonic said


*Outside The Holy City*

"The Enforcement Knights are disappearing... What's going on..."

"All the Holy City soldiers have stopped fighting. Everybody was drawn towards the castle a moment ago, and it scared me, but that's gone! This is... I don't want to get too optimistic, but did they beat the Lion King?" Saruhan said

"Yes, it seems so. We can assume they've fixed the distortion in this land." Touta replied

"Tawara!? Wait, you ain't lookin' so good! I can see through your legs!"

"It can't be helped. I'm a stray Heroic Spirit with no Master. Without the Grail and humanity restored, I can't stay here in this era. If I'd met a proper Master on this journey, I probably would have vanished with them, but, This time, I had my mentor with me! I must wait for another miracle to bring me to a Master! Farewell, Holy Land! Farewell, Sanzang, Sonic! The battle is yours!" Touta said before vanishing

"You helped us a lot, but the rice you gave us made me happiest!"

"...Am I...alive? Haha... But not for long. I can't move my arms... or legs... That must be... Shaytan incarnated. It seems like a useless beast that simply eats..." Cursed Arm said

"..."

"Oh... Great founder... ...That's right. I promised you my head... after this was done... Gahnnhh! Haha! I'm so embarrassed. It takes all my strength just to kneel. ...But forgive me. Please, take my head."

"..."

"W-Wait...! Why... Why did you spare my life!?"

"Thou must be jesting. Hassan of the Cursed Arm's head hath fallen. The arm of this corpse is the Cursed Arm. And thus, it is the Old Man of the Cursed Arm. Thou art no longer the Old Man of the Cursed Arm. Thus, there is no reason for thou to die by my blade. In our world, one is only discharged by death. And now... And now I am surprised to see one who has ended his mission and survived. Be proud. Thou mayest be a failed assassin, but of all 19 of us, thou art the only one to escape the yolk of the Old Man." Hassan said

"Is this what you're telling me to do? To stay in this era and help restore the people of the mountain? Haha... hahahaha! I've done many tasks in my life... But I can imagine no greater job worth doing. I, Hanam, will dedicate my life to it. Thank you for everything, Sonic!" Cursed Arm said


*Chaldea*

Finally, after so long in Camelot, Sonic, Mash, and Da Vinci finally arrived in Chaldea. However, Sonic wasn't in his Excalibur form anymore, and his sword was gone without a trace. Sonic notices that Mash and Da Vinci aren't talking about his form, realizing that memories of that were erased from those two. He decided to keep it that way from now on.

"*Tearing Up* We all made it back, Senpai! We just confirmed that the Foundation of Humanity was restored too. The Sixth Grand Order has been completed." Mash crying

"That's what I like to hear!" Sonic replied

"This time, it was especially tough. But thanks to you, we pulled it off!" Da Vinci said

"People cried and were hurt there... But... even so... The laughter, the joy, all the good food we ate... To us, it's all real. All the joy they gave us will never disappear."

"When you spend all your time observing, you focus too much on records. It wasn't a waste. I'm sure it wasn't. It's still part of what makes up the universe." Da Vinci said

"Doctor, is the Grail secured?"

"Yeah. I just locked it away carefully. Now the sixth Singularity is safe. Once again, good work, Sonic. Now there's only one Grail left." Romani said

"You forgot one more thing. *Shows Him The White Emerald* Just one more emerald left, and Olga is finally back with us!" Sonic said

"Oh, the Chaos Emerald! I forgot about that. Do we need one more as well? Wow, that makes me so excited to see that Director is coming back soon! Also, with the Lion King's information, I calculated the location of the seventh Grail. We observed a Singularity in 2600 BC. In the ancient world of Mesopotamia." Romani said

"Heh, why wait when we could go back right now?" Sonic asks

"Yeah, I'd love to do that. But Rayshifts into the BC era has a meager success rate. Even with the entire control room staff working on it, it will take a long time to prove we can do a Rayshift that far into the past. Hurry too much, and we'll screw it up. For now, I want you to wait on standby. You can go spend time with your Servants, Sonic. Whatever's waiting at the Seventh Singularity will be far worse than before. It's a world where gods, devils, and the world of the dead are a part of everyday life. A terrible monster awaits at the Seventh Singularity. A great power that would deny humanity the right to exist. Defeating it is your job and ours. It's Chaldea's final mission. Be prepared with your Servants, Sonic. This time, everyone will be going." Romani said

"Sounds like fun to me!" Sonic replied


*Castle*

"...Lion King, are you... alright? The rebels...will be here soon. I know you will never lose to them, but please, be very careful. You have... a tendency to respect... the ideals of your opponent..." Agravain said

"Sir Agravain, should you not be more worried about yourself? Your limbs are broken, your chest torn open, and you've lost an eye. You must have fought quite the foe." Lion King said

"He was a man of incredible power, but, This time, my obsessiveness won the day. Oh, forgive me for not being able to offer you a proof. Even if he is dead, I cannot show you his head."

"I see. Sir Agravain, come closer. I permit you to approach the throne. It will not save you your wounds, but give me your hand. It will help ease the pain a little."

"I'm not worthy. And I still have five jobs to do. Defeat the rebels. Defeat the intruders. Restore the Holy City. Guide the citizens who underwent the Holy Selections. There's still... too much to do. There's too much to do, but... This time, I truly intend to give you your ideal utopia... I'm so embarrassed... My plan failed once again." Agravain said

"But I will not blame you for it. Rest, Agravain. Your one flaw is that you work too much."
